The "OMG SIDNEY CROSBY IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!" tour continues and we're still ridiculously excited about it. It's still a bit strange to see Crosby, Malkin & Staal all centering their own lines, but we'll certainly take it.

The Blues are currently 10th in the west. If you ask us, we still think of Brett Hull when we hear the words "St. Louis Blues," but we know that's not right.

St. Louis goaltender Brian Elliot currently leads the league in GAA and Save Percentage. The team's leading scorer is Alex Steen. He has eight goals and six assists for 14 points. T.J. Oshie also has 14 points (six goals, eight assists.)

Then again, a bunch of the Pens' scoring chances came off Blues turnovers. Halak sucks.

It had to happen sometime: the Blues were dealt their first regulation loss of the Hitchcock era last night, losing to the LA Kings 3-2. There's no time for licking wounds, though, as the Blues are right back in action with the Penguins tonight in Pittsburgh. Back-to-back games with travel in between usually offers a challenge to young teams, so Kenny and the Vets will have to ensure that the youngsters put the loss behind them fast, and focus on the challenge ahead. The Penguins are first in the Eastern Conference with a 12-6-3 record, and they just got a little tougher to beat: Oh yeah, Sid is back boys and girls…
